Ancor 270111 NMEA 2000 Female Blanking Cap

Ancor NMEA 2000 Female Protective Blanking Cap

The Ancor 270111 is a marine-grade NMEA 2000 female protective blanking cap designed to seal and protect open male drop ports, multi-port T-connectors, and network backbone extension points. It serves as an essential barrier to prevent physical damage, pin distortion, and environmental contamination on unassigned NMEA 2000 male contacts across the vessel's CAN-bus network.

Constructed from high-impact, UV-stabilized thermoplastic with internal sealing elastomeric O-rings, the 270111 features internal female Micro-C threads that lock down onto standard $M12$ male couplers. Meeting IP67 environmental ingress protection standards, it shields open connector pins from saltwater spray, condensation, dust, and bilge oil residue, preserving network signal reliability and eliminating high-resistance contact faults.

Key Features

• IP67 Waterproof Protection: Fully seals unused male network ports against saltwater spray, atmospheric humidity, and washdowns.

• Pin & Thread Safeguard: Prevents corrosion, accidental bending, or short circuits on exposed male NMEA 2000 connector pins.

• Micro-C Universal Standard: Mates directly with all standard NMEA 2000 Micro-C male T-connectors, power tees, drop lines, and multi-port blocks.

• UV & Chemical Resistant Shell: Tough thermoplastic housing withstands long-term exposure to sunlight, bilge vapor, and marine fuel splashouts.

• Knurled External Grip: Molded ridge profile enables fast, tool-less hand tightening behind consoles and inside tight helm cavities.
